I was lucky enough to grow up in a household that loved & cared for many amazing animals. Our family fell hard for all of them. It was also my luck to spend a few summers working on a ranch. This made me appreciate the skills, experience, maturity & compassion needed to successfully & properly care for animals that are not my own. I enjoy taking animals outside for exercise, play & getting in touch with nature. I have experience with those that require special diets, medications or just appreciate a bit of extra patience, understanding & compassion. I hold a Dog & Cat First Aid certificate from the Red Cross & have been fully vaccinated for covid I am currently a freelance urban planner which provides me with a flexible schedule. It allows me to spend extra quality time with adorable pets during the week & on the weekends. The most important thing is for the animal, as well as his/her family, to be comfortable with me. Second, I need to make sure I can safely, properly & lovingly care for this animal in its home environment. Lastly, it is important for the pet parents and I to mutually agree on the expectations & responsibilities
